00:02 And listen to these rave reviews for the young ones.
00:04 Evening News, not to be raptured with it is to be tired of life.
00:08 Daily Herald, best screen musical ever made in England.
00:11 The film fizzes.
00:12 Sunday Victorian, it bursts at the seams with teenage vigor.
00:16 The best British musical in years.
00:18 Daily Sketch, a slice of magic.
00:21 Daily Mirror, gaily alive, fresh, bubbling with eager youth.
00:25 Daily Mail, Cliff Richard is great.
00:28 The People, smashing success.
00:30 Got to get home now, get myself all smarty-dressed.
00:34 This is the night to look your best, so see you at the dance tonight.
00:41 [music]
00:48 Look, it doesn't matter, we don't care how old you are.
00:51 Whether you're nine or ninety-nine, whether you're just able to toddle, jump or jive,
00:55 we say, what do you know, we've got a show.
00:58 Mommy says no, daddy says no, brother says no,
01:04 but they all gotta go 'cause we say yeah, we say yeah.
01:10 We say yeah, yeah, yeah, what do you know, we've got a show.
01:15 The young ones, darling, we're the young ones,
01:21 and the young ones shouldn't be afraid.
01:28 It's Cliff Richard in his first big screen musical, and he's terrific.
01:32 Good morning.
01:33 And look who's with him, Robert Morley as his property-owning pop,
01:37 making a takeover bid, but this time the opposition's his own son.
01:41 I don't approve of youth clubs, you know,
01:43 they're just places where they can go and plot some more mischief.
01:45 Anyway, I wanted that bit of land.
01:48 Well, has it never occurred to you that they need that bit of land too?
01:52 Otherwise they wouldn't fight you like this.
01:54 And here's Carol Gray, the girl from those West End hits,
02:03 The Boyfriend and West Side Story.
02:05 Carol Gray, the girl in his arms.
02:08 When the girl in your arms is the girl in your heart.
02:17 And how's this for some big competition?
02:20 I'm only a girl, just like any other.
02:24 You can't do this.
02:44 I don't see why not, my dear.
02:46 Have you got a contract? An agreement? A lease?
02:49 No.
02:50 You certainly have no claim except on the kindness of the owner.
02:53 Unfortunately, I am a brute.
02:55 But what about our show?
02:57 Your show, young woman, is off.
02:59 Space!
03:01 They said we'd never win.
03:03 They said around the Earth a man could never spin.
03:07 Ever heard of Major Gagarin?
03:09 You see, nothing is impossible. Impossible? Never.
03:13 [music]
03:22 All for one and one for all, united we stand, divided we fall.
03:27 [music]
03:30 Some girls and some guys with stars in their eyes.
03:33 A spirit of get up and go.
03:35 That's it, Bob.
03:36 A curtain will rise, it's not a surprise.
03:39 What do you know?
03:40 We've got a great and glorious day uproarious.
03:45 [music]
03:48 What do you know?
03:50 We've got a show!
